Hit BBC drama series The Split is back for a sizzling two-parter set in Barcelona, and we can’t wait. Some first look pictures for the spin-off have just dropped – and we can’t wait to see the Defoe sisters back on our screens, with a side order of drama and sunshine.
Just to add to any post-summer blues, we’re happy to learn that while the last three seasons have seen London as the Defoe family’s stomping ground, the spin-off will take place in Spain, at a Catalonian vineyard for a wedding. Classy.
Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming The Split spin-off.
The Split spin-off plot
The two-part special has been described by the BBC as “a Spanish extravaganza set over one sun-soaked weekend”.
“Two years on from the third and final series, formidable family lawyer Hannah Defoe (Nicola Walker) and her family are back and have gathered for a beautiful wedding at a magnificent vineyard, nestled in Catalonia’s wine region,” the plot synopsis reads.
“The episodes will explore the themes of love, legacy, and modern marriage, through a sparkling cast of characters that audiences know and love.”
We’ll see Hannah try and open herself up to the possibility of love again, as well as a whole new offering of break-ups, reunions and romance.
